MICHAEL MOORE has been rejected as commencement speaker at Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism. There was quite an email debate over the subject. Here's my favorite line:
One student chimed in that the speaker should be Chris Rock: "I'd be happy with a comedian, just not a comedian who poses as a journalist."
I don't really think that Michael Moore is a comedian. But I don't think he's a journalist, either.
UPDATE: Reader L. Neil Swanson writes: "Perhaps Moore is best described as an 'inadvertent comedian'. "
